Cardano (ADA) is a good pick, but it still needs to deal with these 3 downsides

The current 8th largest cryptocurrency of the market, Cardano (ADA), saw an incredible hype not so long ago that shoot the crypto to the top and made everyone in the cryptosphere wondering exactly where could ADA get to, and what would it be possible for the token to achieve. Now that the hype is mostly gone, it is the best time to respond to these and other questions. Let’s see how it goes.

Cardano (ADA) 101

Cardano (ADA) is built on a fully open source blockchain with the use of the Haskell programming language, a code that actually was constructed from scratch (no copy-code controversy here as like in the case of Tron since the Ethereum founder and some other programmers criticised it for doing such).

It was created by two remarkable figures of the crypto world, Charles Hoskinson, and Jeremy Wood, both of which were formerly a part of the Ethereum group. In fact, in the beginning, one of the most vociferate ambitions of the crypto was to serve as an Ethereum killer, a crypto providing everything Ethereum does but in a better way.

A group of 30 developers participated in the creation of a crypto platform that is actually able to deal with smart contracts at an enterprise level usage, which means it was built to be scalable. The same way, the company decided to collaborate with the Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK) which is in charge of designing, developing, and maintaining the Cardano platform until 2020.

Finally, one of the most desirable features that Cardano built was the creation of two different layers that interact with each operation. This way, data, and transactions function separately from the other, on the one hand, the transaction part works under the Cardano Settlement Layer (CSL), and on the other, the data part functions with the Cardano Control Layer (CCL).

Three main disadvantages of Cardano

As the official webpage of the crypto establishes, Cardano “is the first blockchain platform to evolve out of a scientific philosophy and a research-first driven approach”, and this, although represents a groundbreaking concept it, at the same time, is an antonym of what the crypto community actually seeks. In fact, this approach can be interpreted in a way as a form of going back to the roots of the “old world” where information didn’t move freely, and people were not that much into self-learning.

Cardano has characterized for being one of the cryptos in the market that has grown incredibly fast, and this is something that mainly responds to the way the market moves with several developments and different coins that appear every day. But as it seems, this is actually a curse and a blessing for the currency at the same time, because in the measure that Cardano tends to grow so do others in the market, among which probably we’ll have a ‘Cardano killer.’

To conclude, another disadvantage that Cardano (ADA) has is that the crypto is aiming to approach two of the most opposite targets of the industry, privacy, and regulations.

For the one part, Cardano is trying to move head to head with regulators in order to be somehow a ‘safe coin’, and on the other, the coin also wants to provide an entirely private and anonymous space for users to trade, and we can all agree that besides being an ambitious goal, it is improbable one.

Aluna.Social is a Compelling Social Platform for Crypto Traders and Investors

When one thinks about the social media landscape, the companies that first come to mind are most likely Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Snapchat. These platforms are a great way to stay connected with friends, families, and colleagues, especially when geographic distance is a factor. But, in addition to just chatting about life in general and sharing pictures, social media can be used to bridge the information gap that exists within the investment community.

Over the last decade, many trading offices have been established in large cities all over the world which allow solo traders and investors to pay a monthly fee in exchange for a workspace. The real benefit to trading in these offices is to participate in the free flow of trading ideas and information. Proprietary trading is one of the most challenging careers to be successful at and the exchange of ideas is almost required in order to succeed.

Of those, the largest and most influential crypto ATM company by a significant margin is CoinFlip.
